"...a sprawling, hour-long musical journey that both evokes the PiL of old and pushes into new territory. A mixture of big,
bassy, fast-moving tracks, some slower guitar pieces and Lydon's at times-unaccompanied voice, This is PiL has an
epic album feel without being overblown.”

PUBLIC IMAGE LTD have announced three in-store appearances across the U.S.: Wednesday, October 24 at Amoeba in San Francisco 6:00pm (1855 Haight St), Thursday, Nov 1 at Good Records in Dallas 12:30pm (1808 Greenville Ave.) and Saturday, Nov 3 at the Fun Fun Fun Fest-Waterloo Records Tent in Austin 4:00pm (Auditorium Shores, 920 W. Riverside Dr.). The band is currently in the midst of their first U.S. tour since their 2010 reunion trek which kicked off at Coachella. The group will hit Los Angeles’ Club Nokia for a one-night-only show Sunday, October 28. The night before, the iconic PiL frontman JOHN LYDON is set for a headlining DJ set at KCRW’s Halloween Masquerade Party in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 27 at Park Plaza Hotel.

For fans that are unable to attend the shows, PiL will be live streaming their performance on Friday, October 26 in Reno, NV at the Knitting Factory Via Livestream. Visit: https://new.livestream.com/theknitreno/PiL.

The potent and eclectic PiL line-up featuring JOHN LYDON (vocals), LU EDMONDS (guitar), SCOTT FIRTH (bass) and BRUCE SMITH (drums) continues to garner rave reviews for their epic live sets which are not to be missed.

“The crowd swelled and danced in place to the hypnotic 'Warrior' as Lydon's bellows and barks echoed and intertwined with Edmonds's otherworldly sounding stabs of delayed and effected guitar.”

--David Von Bader, MIAMI NEW TIMES (October 8, 2012)

 “Lydon and company delivered a two-hour plus set that turned out to be a sustained, Apocalypse Now descent into hell. From the propulsive opening attack on ‘This Is Not A Love Song’ through classic deep-groove diatribes like ‘Flowers Of Romance’ and ‘Death Disco’-both of them among the evening’s highlights--the group kept it dark and angry…The playing and pacing were inspired throughout, with recent material like ‘Deeper Water,’ ‘Reggie Song,’ and ‘Out of The Woods’ sounding even more urgent than on the group’s excellent latest release, This Is Pil. “

--Bernard Perusse, MONTREAL GAZETTE (October 18, 2012)

The group--described as “a musical force taking a jackhammer to pop music’s boundaries” (Phil Gallo, BILLBOARD, 5/19/12)--are touring in support of their new album, THIS IS PiL. It was released May 29 this year via their own PiL Official label, with distribution through Redeye in the U.S. and Cargo in the U.K. THIS IS PiL--the band’s first album of new music in 20 years--has generated rave reviews from critics and features new tracks such as “Deeper Water,” “Lollipop Opera,” “One Drop” and “Out of the Woods.” On October 1, a new AA side single titled “Out Of The Woods/Reggie Song” was released in CD, digital and as a special 12 inch Vinyl.
